Retail comes to Cherokee County!
Cherokee County is getting over 1 million square feet of retail space. Three main centers of development have begun - all are located along the 575 interstate corridor. The shopping centers are expecting to bring in new retailers - many that have never been seen in Cherokee County before. Also restaurants and upscale boutiques will be a part of the construction that is slated for completion in 2008/2009.
The largest of these retail centers will be an open-air shopping mall off of exit 19 on 575. It will be over 800,000 sq feet and is being called the Canton Marketplace. Accessible from GA Hwy 20 and 575 it is already under construction and early openings are expected by Spring 2008. Another great shopping center in the planning stage is The Avenue Ridgewalk. It will be located in S. Cherokee off of exit 8 - generally known as the Towne Lake area. It is too early to know exactly what stores will be opening in this center, but developers are trying to bring in some upper-scale shops, boutiques and restaurants to add to the diversity of what is already available in Woodstock.
The 3rd area of development in Cherokee County is on Sixes Rd - exit 11 off of 575. This area is known as the Bridgemill area or Holly Springs area. Home Depot has already started construction and other stores and restaurants are slated to join in the over 330,000 sq foot retail center. Cherokee Countyis growing rapidly - along with mountain views, rivers and creeks, and Lake Allatoona we will now enjoy several first class new shopping centers. For homeowners and people considering relocation it will definitely add a new level of convenience to have such great retail centers within minutes of home!
